The clocks go (spring) forward tonight +1hr to British summer time If you don't change your clocks then the race starts at 5am if you do it starts at 6am I hope you have the pastries ready Cheers. What I've done is set my phone alarm and my iPad alarm for 6 . I think they know the clocks change and they change themselves. Hopefully at least one of them will get it right! Yes. Panne au chocolat at the ready 😀

Not a good Q for me, Dan backing it in the gravel was a downer and the car is more off the benchmark than I thought. Surely the suspension changes has played a part, That car is nowhere as stable as the top 2. Anyways good news is Merc has a serious battle on their hands for the race which is welcomed, although would be better if it were Red Bull putting up the challenge instead of Ferrari. Being a 1 stop race, the start is going to be critical and potentially decides who wins. Red Bull will come out ahead of Ferrari at the end of the season. It will take five or six races though for them to come up to speed. It's going to hurt a bit till then, but hey, it's not a Honda engine.

Still a lot of pace to unlock from the Red Bull chassis which is a positive.
The question is how much more pace there is to unlock from both Ferrari and Merc as well, that still frightens me. I feel Red Bull has more "locks" to unlock as Ferrari and Merc, but just how many more before those cars hit full potential.
The progression thru out the season will be interesting.

I really do think Vettle will make the 1st corner 1st.

Does the rear end of the car getting to the corner first count?

This humidity is HORRIBLE. Driver fatigue is going to play a part here. This feels more like Sepang than Melbourne right now!

Will they have Kyvat's extinguisher refilled in time? Or will it be 2 cars out before the flag drops?
*EDIT*
Looks like Ricciardo may get going

What are the chances that Vettel makes a wild swing to encroach on Hamilton into the corner... like he always does but there will be more desperation today.

This feels weird. Hamilton usually is ahead by a post-code by now. I am not used to this. xD
